they also censored the word instagram. Crazy how strainly has instagram. Lol

This site is a down fall

They now block all app names, the word "cash", "order", "email", "@" and A LOT more. They will no longer allow you to leave a review for a seller if you didn't pay with their bitcoin system! You can no longer message someone by clicking the 'buy' button, you must use the 'contact' button. Strainly seems to have screwed & stifled everyone... including themselves. There clearly won't be many new reviews on the site, plus who wants to be forced to use some weird Strainly bitcoin system?

I've already noticed that the reviews have basically stopped coming in.

Glad I already stocked up on cheap seeds like with glo. Another good resource ruined by greed

Some feedback:

Although it's too soon to comment on the quality of the seeds, I can at least vouch for speed of shipping for SoCal Seed Vault. Super quick shipping and an easy donation system that doesn't involve crypto if you don't want to use it. Decent prices although a little stingy on the freebies, but since they are freebies I can't really complain.

That's all for now.

At this point strainly is dead, discord is where the cuts and beans are atm. So much easier to complete transactions and there’s a spot where you can post what gear you’re looking for and people respond pretty quick. I’m an older dude and found discord confusing at first, but am now sitting happy with a cut of mb15 on the cheap and enjoy chatting with breeders directly on there. Gmo on discord is about as solid as they come, no hlvd and cheaper than most, stand up dude.

Okay I'm on Discord, but how do you find anything? I'm entering search terms like seeds, clones, cuttings, cannabis, etc... nothing comes up. 420 turned up a couple things but nothing seed or clone related.

Better than forums! Bold claim sir.
Honestly I'm lost in the digital age... took a few years off from growing, not by choice, came back and things have changed alot as far as where people are at. Roi seems sort of dead now...

That said, personally I'm glad strainly is harder to use. I won't register a wallet or deal with the bs. It should keep me from buying all sorts of seeds I don't need. I do have a problem as do many folks on here

New message from Strainly regarding their payment system:

"
​
​
Hey there,

Over the past 7 days, some of you provided constructive feedback regarding the new transaction workflow and it has been taken into account to make significant improvements.

I want to underline that this new workflow intends to make transactions more secure and private. Having an integrated payment system as an option for everyone has been a priority for quite some time now. But it's been a pretty complex problem to solve.

Strainly is a platform that facilitates connections and transactions. As the volumes grow, the costs of operation do as well. It is therefore important to ensure we have the resources ensuring the long-term sustainability of Strainly. Providing more value to our users is what guides us.

The the goal is always to create a better user experience for all parties involved. As such, we have just made changes that keep the flexibility you have had in the past, combined with improved security.

In short:

  • buyers are able to submit order requests without having to pay any fee, just like before > no friction
  • parties are able to make payments via our new integrated payment system OR, "on the side" using the payment method of their choice, just like before > flexibility
  • parties are able to leave reviews to each other, when the transaction actually happened > security
"

I sent a note to Strainly explaining I won't participate in any bitcoin adventures after having used strainly several times. They wrote back telling me I can still use cash or other methods. Bitcoin is not required.

Got an email from strainly today that states that when a buyer requests something the seller has to pay a small fee before they can communicate with you.

"Please make sure to Accept any pending requests from buyers currently sitting in your inbox. You will be prompted to pay a small service fee. As soon as you do, you will be able to communicate with your buyer"
